All those trying to turn Lucy Connolly into a martyr for free speech ought to read the appeal court findings. The police record of her lies on arrest is very interesting

In the 1970s, UK discovered oil/gas in North Sea. Thatcher onwards, money squandered on tax cuts for corporations/rich. Now ... crisis. Norway heavily taxed oil/gas. Now, $1.9trn sovereign fund. Its income funds national budget. Appeasing rich/corporations costs the future.

Can anyone explain why the English working class is so spectacularly stupid and willing to further the agenda of libertarian billionaires without question? #r4today

REMINDER: As Tory Immigration Minister, Robert Jenrick said he wanted “even more” asylum hotels. We can’t let the Tories get away with this.

The biggest con the political class ever pulled was turning immigration into the issue. Working class communities set against each other while the elites sit back & laugh. The real fight is against poverty, inequality & exploitation not your neighbour. #KnowYourRealEnemy

So if I've understood this 'Raise The Colours' thing correctly, it's about intimidating immigrants, causing criminal damage, shouting racist abuse, costing local authorities money and generally behaving like a brainless tit.

Are there any Israel apologists out there who can give a single justification for why Israel just bulldozed 8,000 Palestinian olive trees?

It’s getting pretty tiresome seeing the same people posting racist stuff in order to provoke other racists into being more racist People aren’t poorer by accident. It’s because the obscenely rich are rich by design & need them to focus their anger somewhere else

David Lammy “Horrified”? Is that an adequate response, Mr Lammy? Let me spell it out: 4 journalists have been killed by Israel, which then targeted and killed Gaza medical workers - live on television. Now, what *action* will the U.K. actually take against Israel?

The Epping hotel has been used to accommodate asylum seekers between May 2020 & March 2021, & then October 2022 to April 2024. All without a complaint from the Conservative run council. I wonder What changed in 2024?…
